Your Ryder Cup picks

[Khamelion]

McDowell has just had his first child ( well his wife has ) and was never going to make this event

He was always guaranteed a spot and deservedly so this year.

Indeed as previously written, McDowell holds the current 9th auto spot in the RC team, should Gallacher finished 1st or tied 2nd he would then get the 9th spot.

However it is assumed by most of the media that McDowell would be an automatic pick for one of the wildcards, thus nigh on guaranteeing his pick for the team.

Fair enough. Going to be twitchy times for him then if Gallacher puts together a good round tomorrow and Saturday. Likely that he would be a wildcard pick, but am sure he'd be much happier knowing he's got one of the automatics!

Warren is looking more and more confident as the weeks go on, that last birdie was superb. Pretty good chance for him to impress the skipper playing with him today!

Don't think McDowell will be twitchy about anything - he is in - how they get there will be immaterial

The twitchy ones will be Donald and possibly Westwood

Really can't see Donald getting in under any circumstance.

How about if he wins the PGA comp going on now ?

Or McGinley looks at his record and the way he plays with people like Garcia and Westwood and his ability in foursomes to keep it in play

Looks like Stephen Gallacher and Ian Poulter are going to make The Captains picks a whole lot harder [or easier].
